Foxconn is a company that you might have heard of. It doesn't market any products under its own brand (yet), but the gadgets that are assembled in its production plants are likely present in your very own home. What has caused the Foxconn name to end up on quite a few headlines, however, are the dodgy working conditions in its factories...

Unfortunately, this robots can only capable to make iPad, whereas the iPhone they still need the human labour...
the reason of taking this machine is because foxconn believe that the iPad will forever a 9.7inch and 7.9inch size respectively... and they will get the robot who has high learning experience on this size... And the iphone, those labour will learnt to make all over again on that 4inch size phone...

The 2nd sentence is actually false. Anyone who regularly shops for computer parts know about Foxconn, as they do sell some computer components like cases and power supplies under their own name. They are considered one of many "generic" brands for PC parts. Just go on Newegg if you don't believe me.
